Sometimes I come across an artist who makes me wonder why I’d ever bother to open Photoshop or pick up a pencil or needle and thread or camera ever again. One such artist is New York-based illustrator, Sam Spratt. Read more

There are some great themed Tumblrs out there, from Casually Pepper Spraying Cops, to Chicks with Steve Buscemi Eyes. Then there’s the life-affirming Fuuuu Comics. Recently, a new Tumblr has found a special place in my heart: One Tiny Hand. Celebritites old and new are given a new lease on life on this blog, which reimagines them or someone near them with one tiny hand. Although I’ve looked pretty carefully the image of Kim Kardashian on there and I’m pretty sure it’s undoctored. Read more

I’m really looking forward to seeing my friend Deidre Schoo’s documentary on East New York street dance called Flex is Kings. Schoo and Michael Beach Nichols have worked hard, shooting over 300 hours of footage to compile this stunning documentary. Having just won a spot on Indiewire’s Project of the Week, they now have the opportunity to receive a consultation with Sundance, which is an opportunity they certainly deserve.

Like her or hate her, you have to admit that Madonna provided quite a spectacle for her half-time show at this year’s Super Bowl. Not content with just enjoying a great show, this blogger felt the need to provide a rather warped interpretation of the performance. While it’s a load of psychobabble, I have to say the writer did provide some great pics and it’s rather entertaining, all in all. Read more

Have you ever wished there was a unique place where you could take a date or a friend to really knock their socks off? Do you dream of clandestine, candle-lit whisperings over expertly crafted cocktails? If so, then I have just the place for you, but you can’t tell anyone about it. Seriously. Please Don’t Tell. You won’t find it just wandering down the street. You can’t just walk in there. To get into this exclusive speakeasy, I recommend you dress to the nines and prepare to be screened. Read more

From the opening moments of Iconoclast, I knew that I was in for one hell of a ride. This documentary is neither for the easily offended nor the feeble minded. It is a rather colourful, at times psychedelic look at the work, exploits, and infulences of Boyd Rice, straight from the man himself. There’s never a dull moment, which is just as well, as it clocks in at four hours. So grab the bottle of Jack, grab a big bag of chips, and light the Tiki torches.

This place is packed with personality, with its 19 themed rooms that are designed to appeal to a wide variety of travelers who are seeking a memorable experience. With rooms such as the Play Room, which they describe as being ‘dedicated to all things decadent and indulgent’, and Rough Trade Rough Night, which is ‘inspired by the original Rough Trade Record Shop in west London’, you just might end up wanting to move in.

In keeping with the ecclectic appeal of their themed rooms, Hotel Pelirocco enlisted knit wit Brit Kate Jenkins to add her crafty touch to one of their rooms. Kate took her task seriously, spending a month knitting curtains and lamp shade covers and crocheting bits and pieces of decor. Even the phone, which looks like a retro rotary, gets a knitted cozy, leaving it looking oddly like a giant, tasty licorice allsort.

He was commissioned to do a sculpture of the Yankee Stadium, as well as the New York Stock Exchange building. At last count, Kenney owns over 1.5 million LEGO pieces. Read more

The first time I saw one of Betty Butterfield’s videos on YouTube, I knew I had found my guru. Betty Butterfield knows stuff. From her extensive insights on the religions of the world, to the horrors of Walmart and the dangers of mobile homes, Betty’s somewhat skewed insights always provide me with a welcome laugh.

The Super Stripe sock over at Sock Dreams is one of my favourite things. In fact, when Christmas rolls around, I’ll be hoping that one of those brown paper packages tied up with string is holding a pair of them. They have everything from argyle toe socks to bunny socks and sock monkey socks. So no matter how miserable the winter might get, you’re bound to have happy feet.

If you’re familiar with the work of Banksy and Mr. Brainwash, the title to this film probably sounds faimiliar to you. Banksy’s Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill was a pop-up shop that appeared in New York’s West Village, back in 2008. Read more

If the name Barnaby Whitfield conjures up images of the circus, that wouldn’t be entirely inappropriate. You might recognize his work from covers he has illustrated for The Dresden Dolls. This Brooklyn-based artist lives in a world populated by his own mythology of blushing youths, supermodels, Abraham Lincoln, and birds. Read more
Enda O’Donoghue comments on the hyper-mediated view of the world we have in the digital age, painting urban vistas and face-obscured portraits of people photographing themselves in mirrors, all of it blurred and glitchy with O’Donoghue’s perfectly rendered pixelation. Read more

Where to start with Z-Trip? Shepard Fairey propped him on this site a few weeks back, but let’s face it: the guy is worth a double post. He’s the king of the mash-up, a dance floor master, and the humblest guy you’ll meet. If you haven’t heard of him (unlikely), then go to his website right now and download his free mixes. He deejayed a show for us in 2000, right when his breakout CD, Uneasy Listening, dropped and I was floored. Who has the audacity to mix a Pat Benatar beat with Public Enemy vocals? This guy.
